So much relief, so much hope, so much joy in these toughest of times. . Thank you America, @joebiden @kamalaharris @amandascgorman . You made yesterday a special day in all our lives. Read @guardian for the new climate change initiatives and follow @potus to keep up with what the White House is doing. The RELIEF . . . #mrpresident #inauguration #amandagorman #climatechange #maskup #hopeI’m not particularly proud of these baguettes other than the fact I’ve had a go at them. The texture is all wrong - more Greggs than Parisian boulangerie and I need to work on the shaping but considering I was making them at the same time I was trying to watch the inauguration I’m not going to beat myself up. Don’t want to go down the sourdough route but sure it needs a longer rise to develop the flavour and get an airier texture. Hopefully @richardbertinet and @danlepard will put me right. Definitely going to try them again. Right flour in any case from @cotswoldflour. . . , . #bread #frenchbread #baguette #homebaked #lockdownbreadprojectIt felt *almost* springlike out on today’s walk. Most cheering sight of the year so far. Now pissing with rain again obvs but we snatched a few precious rays. #rollonspring. . . . #snowdrops #garden #january #springflowers #clifton #bristol #cheeringMy pals @trethowanbrothers suggested we should think of #bluemonday in terms of #bluecheese rather than a low point in the month which is a lot more cheering. So here’s the @sticheltondairy Stichelton they sell and a Stichelton and onion spaghetti I’ve made from it from my book The Frugal Cook. Although it turns out white rather than blue which is no bad thing. Thinking a bit of crisp bacon or pancetta would be a good addition but would obvs not then be veggie. Bit of parsley (in the original recipe) would be nice too. Stichelton btw is almost identical to Stilton but unpasteurised which means it’s not allowed to be called Stilton. Unfair, eh? . . . #stilton #stichelton #bluecheese #bluecheesemonday #spaghetti #pasta #cheese Follow on Instagram
